I haven’t heard that phrase.....”.No one promised you a rose garden” in ages. Thanks for reminding me. Accceptance of chronic pain and limited activity is so very difficult, Accepting aging and the progression of medical conditions is even tougher, Hang in there, Treat yourself to music.......a virtual tour of Italy......a long catch up phone call with your high school friend, Fill your time with healthy distractions. We do better when we know how to do better, And yes, we are here to help you stand strong,

May you be open to joy today.

@artscaping Funny thing, I just sent email reply to one of my best HS friends in Macon, Ga. She's quite a gal. She began a lunch bunch group of HS friends, years ago, and it's still going along. With a lot of organization and work on her part. I went to Macon to visit, stayed w/her, for our 50th reunion. Fun, horrid reminder of life long gone, good memories, didn't recognize one person.....we all had our HS pics on name badges-only way we knew anyone.

Now, she has Zoom meetings once monthly, instead of restaurant meetings. Great idea. Missed them all mostly due to Mayo appts!!!!! but now appts are much less, I'm much better, and they're continuing both, in person and Zoom. So, I get to see everyone next Thursday! Feels a bit like life is coming back?

Love my gray hair now. Actually, funny thing, sleep dept found I have iron deficiency, probably had it a long time. Years.....so, I take Vitron +C, iron, and now, ferrous is up and white/silver hair is salt and pepper again!!!! Did you know the iron is turning my gray hair back to original color, some.....now that I've adjusted to the silver! Love the irony.

Heading across the street to my son's home. He called to spend some time together for Easter. Only last few years have I not gotten him, he's 52, Easter egg basket with candy, goodies, a book or whatever. Even sent to law school and after he opened his practice. He wasn't thrilled....finally suggested I don't need to do that anymore.

Watched my Miami Marlins baseball team beat Tampa Bay Rays, who were in the World Series last year! Had to watch a couple of different recordings to get to the final innings, as channels are wonky. But, saw them win. I began my baseball Marlin's career a couple years ago to be able to watch/chat/discuss and not get irritated with Rob's new interest in the team. He's for the underdog....determined to have a hobby, so took up baseball and they were for many years at the very bottom! Last year, led the team in covid cases, lost so many players, they had to buy/beg/steal players and ended up in the play-offs!!! Great season, weird season due to covid, but we shared the fun. So, now we have a good team and will enjoy sharing the games.

Have lovely day, Chris. A good day! Blessings, elizabeth
